Gannet visits Carsington

A near adult Gannet was found by Steph Hicking and Roger Carrington,  from Paul Stanley hide, shortly after 15.30hrs on 13th September 2011.  It appeared at Stones Island and then on the new path near Hopton End where it had a brief altercation with the immature female Pergrine. Shortly after this the Gannet flew off high North East. This is the first record since November 2009. Other observers included Dave Newcombe, Clive Ashton and Chris Brown.
